Getting the SmashFact app is easy for students–just download it from any app store.

One of the best things about the SmashFact app is that it is designed for mobile devices. Students can play SmashFact activities on-the-go with the app installed on their phone or tablet. There is no signing up necessary, just tell them to head to one of the app stores listed below:

If a student prefers to play SmashFact on their desktop, or if you are interested in purchasing the SmashFact app for your classroom computers, visit our Britt Carr Interactive Learning Shop to download SmashFact Student Version for Desktop.

It’s officially Autumn now and already time to start thinking about midterm exams

How do you help your students prepare for midterms? Do you provide practice tests? A list of the vocabulary terms? Do students dread studying from these types of aids?

With SmashFact you can easily turn these static documents into fun, interactive mobile games that help your students study. They will love racing the clock and advancing levels, all while experiencing greater retention of the important information.

Smashing Suggestion: If you have a static study aid that you think would be a great SmashFact game, but don’t have the time to make it, contact us. Our team can help get it into your students’ hands in time to study for midterms.

SmashFact v.1.2 now supports longer questions and answers as well as Spanish characters

We heard many requests from Educators, like yourself, to increase the number of characters allowed per question and answer in a SmashFact activity. So, we have spent the past couple months researching and testing ideal font sizes for mobile devices (since we have seen that most students play SmashFact on their tablet or phone). Now, when you edit your activities, you will notice that a question can be up to 90 characters and the answer/distractors up to 95 (we have included a handy character counter to help keep track).

We have not only expanded the questions and answers, SmashFact now supports Western character sets for foreign languages. We have found that the audio feature in SmashFact makes it a great tool for studying foreign language, and the image feature makes Asian and Arabic languages possible as well.
